Today, gentle 40 minute swim in the bay then a hours recovery ride on the bike, let leg and hand (ripped out 2 finger nails) still up like a balloon.
You're a tank. I assume when it hit you the X5 was immediately written off?Well done for keeping going mate, max respect for people that work around injuries, must have been a tough one.
Thanks all, well the bonnet couldn't close properly afterwards, I think that I enhanced the look actually, my knees would testify otherwise though.

Saturday: Pad work and sparring, picked up a great black eye.
Tuesday : circuits and sparring. Bashed my shin good.
Wednesday: bag work, press ups, sit ups, bench press, barbell row, EZ curls.
Thursday : Circuits and sparring. No run, healing up.
Today: Circuits and sparring.
I need to work on my defence. Coming into kickboxing at 35 has had a steep learning curve.

Kickboxing at any age is a steep curve. I trained for maybe a year at a local club in my early thirties and the culture shock of coming from Judo and actually getting hit, with hands and legs was huge Tuesday : circuits and sparring. Bashed my shin good.

Cheers mate. I'm 10 months in. My third (and final) novice fight competition this week, probably a bit bold given I've only had a white belt for a month. Hard game man, enjoy. Some of the guys at the club do Judo, usually bigger guys, they come in with some decent injuries as well, mostly joints. You get conditioned to pain in certain areas I guess, then you think everyone else is insane.
That said, I'm not sure there's much as dramatic as watching someone get smashed in the face. Keeps you motivated to train!
I've decided to start pushing my knee a bit as I still haven't had an appointment about it (been about 4 months now and I'm getting a bit fed up, would just like a follow up from the private MRI I got to get diagnosed).
I did chase up today and they did say I should've had an appointment by now but will chase up. Just a waiting game still though.
Plan is to run a 16 week deadlift peak end of this month and aim for a 400kg deadlift before the year is out, been chasing it long enough
Leg exercises are going well and very little pain on most so I'm hoping that's positive to it healing up well.
Dieting has gone fairly well, dropped to 131kg before gaining 5kg whilst away visiting family for a week but seems to have worked in my favour though.
For anyone interested, current look at ~133kg from today - hospital lighting FTW
Plan is another 4 weeks so it only goes into my peak for a couple weeks then aim to not get any fatter!
Only positive to the weight loss so far is BP is much easier to keep in range but was still good even at 150kg.
Day to day don't feel any different yet but hoping it'll show benefits when I transition to my strength phase.

Looking well man, all the best hitting that number! I did chase up today and they did say I should've had an appointment by now but will chase up. Just a waiting game still though.

Been floored by a urine infection this week, had no idea these could be so unpleasant, hot and cold sweats at night, tired all the time, I'm actually off work today.
I had one back in the 90's. I played a game of golf on a hot day, forgot my drink. Had a few beers after then a few more at home. I was pissing blood for a month after, all down to dehydration/ shifts / tiredness. It's a major issue on hospital wards with old folk who don't / can't get hydrated, some go right doolally. Back on topic, 2 hour road ride on Sunday in the heat, 4 hours golf Monday, 2 hour Zwift in the garage today as it was raining....fluids / fluids / fluids.

An update for anyone interested. I’ve had 3 weeks off work (after working 75+ hour weeks since January) and feel infinitely better for the rest, even with 3 kids.
Rehab is going OK for the Achilles, but finding a physio has proven impossible so far. This country is in a bad way.
I would estimate upper body strength down about 20% and lower body down…90%! It will come back.
I’ve managed to stay at about 15% body fat despite months in a cast boot and working very long hours, though, which is modestly pleasing.

75 hours jeez! Rehab is going OK for the Achilles, but finding a physio has proven impossible so far. This country is in a bad way.

I'm glad I can work from home with the business, pay may not be as stable/good but I couldn't imagine doing a 60+ hour week, train and find time for the family.
Peptides can help with Achilles if you don't mind buying "research chemicals" and injecting.
Are you waiting for a NHS physio too?

Nope. Willing to pay but there’s nobody around willing to visit and I don’t have time to travel to and from sessions. I'm glad I can work from home with the business, pay may not be as stable/good but I couldn't imagine doing a 60+ hour week, train and find time for the family.

I was able to do 2 or 3 short workouts per week because I was staying in a hotel several nights per week (commute on top of working hours was too much).
Anyway, my current lifts and goals for my 40th birthday next April.
Bench: 90kg - 115kg
Squat: ? - 80kg
Deadlift: ? - 120kg
Gonna take it easy and hope to back to old numbers by next Christmas (170/125/190kg).
Yesterday, 50km on the bike, 1k swim.
Today, hilly 1hr ride, 500m of climbing 30kph avg, 1k swim, then a quick fire 60 pull ups.
Just gonna jot down what I have eaten today seeing that's an important part of training, so no breakfast just a black coffee, lunch was 4 fried eggs with a black coffee, pre ride fuel is 2 slices of brown toast topped with jam and cinnamon, evening meal was 2 big pieces of salmon with new potatoes soaked in butter, and a side of samphire fennel and spinach, not bothered with a sweet so a handful of blueberries covers it.

They'll be someone who should be able to help I'd imagine.
